2018 Map of East Andover

About this map

East Andover and South Andover occupy the valley of the Ellis River in this detailed survey of Oxford County. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the river bottomlands and the surrounding peaks, including Whitecap Mtn and Plumbago Mtn. Local history is preserved through a series of family and community burial grounds, such as Farmers Hill Cem and the Upper West Ellis Cem, which are scattered throughout the hillsides. The western reach of the map features the iconic Lovejoy Bridge, while the southern edge transitions into the Androscoggin River corridor at Rumford Point. This topographic record highlights the traditional settlement patterns of western Maine, where small villages and homesteads like those on Farmers Hill Rd follow the narrow habitable valleys carved between the granite highlands.
